Did you park in a bike lane?

I Parked In A Bike LaneIn many big cities all over the world bike lanes seem to be the designated parking spaces for delivery trucks, SUV ladies running into shops, or just about anyone who is in a hurry.
Parking in, double parking in, or otherwise blocking a designated bicycle passageway forces cyclists to ride into the street, possibly blocking traffic and placing the cyclist in harm’s way.

There is a new organization to fight this: in NYcity there are stickers that state “I parked in a bike lane” on cars that are blocking the lanes.

“I Parked In A Bike Lane.org is a humble movement aimed at raising driver awareness towards the problems associated with blocking bike lanes. Cyclists know how unsafe this can be, but something about being hulled up inside two tons of steel seems to lead to an obliviousness (or perhaps indifference) to these issues.”
Great idea guys.
